[VOTE] [Studio] Release of Apache Directory Studio 1.2.0 RC1

Hi all,

I think we're now OK to release a first RC for Apache Directory Studio
1.2.0.

Here's a quick summup of the improvements.

First, the Apache DS plugin is approaching its last steps. I'm currently
testing it heavily under all types of Operating Systems (Mac OS X, Linux
Ubuntu and Windows), and it's looking great. :)

Next, The Apache DS Configuration plugin has been updated to support the 3
latest versions of Apache DS. It's not capable of reading/writing the
server.xml file of an Apache DS 1.5.0, 1.5.1 and 1.5.2.

The Search Logs view has been added to the LDAP Browser.

We've also added the support to use the proxy features of Eclipse inside
Studio as well as improved the platform (useful actions have been added to
the platform, the Mac OS X application now respects the standards of Apple
for the "About" and "Preferences" actions, etc.).

We've also fixed some bugs dealing with schema files and schema parsing in
the Schema Editor and LDAP Browser plugins.

Here's the complete list of resolved or closed Jira issues:

   - DIRSTUDIO-330 - CoreException raised in editor when opening a *.txt
   file
   - DIRSTUDIO-326 - Non-Operational attributes are marked as operational
   when bind to Siemens DirX 7.0
   - DIRSTUDIO-318 - Rename of multi-values RDN does not work when changing
   the second RDN
   - DIRSTUDIO-332 - Add support for 1.5.2 and 1.5.0 server.xml
   configuration files
   - DIRSTUDIO-339 - Add the 'org.eclipse.ui.carbon' Eclipse plugin to the
   Mac OS X distribution
   - DIRSTUDIO-336 - Errors when parsing schema of some LDAP servers
   - DIRSTUDIO-266 - OpenLDAP schema files parser fails when DESC contains
   an empty string ''
   - DIRSTUDIO-342 - Relax the parser for the *.schema files
   - DIRSTUDIO-329 - Replace internal URL class by shared-ldap LdapURL class
   - DIRSTUDIO-338 - Update Eclipse dependencies to the latest Eclipse
   version (3.3.2)
   - DIRSTUDIO-347 - Keybinding conflict for CTRL+Q
   - DIRSTUDIO-321 - Need to be able to set SOCKS proxy in the RCP version
   - DIRSTUDIO-128 - Replace internal schema parser with the schema parser
   in shared-ldap.
   - DIRSTUDIO-121 - Some propery pages make the dialog very tall
   - DIRSTUDIO-337 - Add Save and Print actions in the toolbar of the RCP
   application
   - DIRSTUDIO-328 - Search Logs View

Let's vote now:
[ ] +1 | Release Apache Directory Studio 1.2.0 RC1
[ ] +/-0 | Abstain
[ ] -1 | Do NOT release Apache Directory Studio 1.2.0 RC1

Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot

I _think_ ADS 1.5.3 may be out by the end of this week. I don't know how 
compatible are Studio 1.2.0 and ADS 1.5.3 regarding to the config file, 
but yes, this is an option.

Maybe we can wait for Apache DS 1.5.3, so we can integrate the new jars in
the Apache DS plugin and update the Apache Configuration plugin to handle
Apache DS 1.5.3 server.xml files.

I don't know what's the best option...

I think we should release ApacheDS 1.5.3 and make sure studio still works
with the various features below.

WDYT?

We can kick off a vote for ApacheDS as soon as we fix this normalization
with # issue?

Unfortunately not with the "Spinner" SWT widget we use (see
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/widgets/gallery-spinner.png).

I think we simply should explain the limitation and the workaround in the
documentation and close the issue.

Hi,

As the vote for the release of Apache DS 1.5.3 is now a question of hours, I
think we can cancel this one and postpone it when Apache DS 1.5.3 will be
released.

I think it makes sense that Apache Directory Studio is released with the
latest version of Apache DS available (for running the server inside the
Apache DS plugin and editing the server configuration in the Apache DS
Configuration plugin). I think it's worth waiting a few more days...

I can work on integrating Apache DS 1.5.3 (or at least 1.5.3-SNAPSHOT
version) in Studio while Apache DS 1.5.3 release vote is on. As soon as it's
out, I'll be able to commit the changes and start the vote again.

WDYT ?

Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud

Right now, I think they help the user, aren't they ? And the fact that 
you still can use the text editor anyway is a good enough workaround, 
unless we really want to spend a week writing a widget handling 
BigInteger :)

What we could to is to remove the "Spinner" widget and instead add a
simple text field and add a validator that validates the value using
  new BigInteger(text);
and in case of a NumberFormatException we reject the value.

However as discussed in DIRSTUDIO-234 we should consider if all those
smart features help or just handicap the users...

This is a workaround. Is there a way to define an editor which can 
handle something like a BigDecimal instead of an integer, of course in a 
matter of hours?

Just in case ...

Otherwise, let's postpone the issue to 1.3.0 or any later release.

Hi Emmanuel,

Actually that's not a real issue. The Integer editor uses an GUI widget that
is limited to Integer values (range 0...2147483647). As Stefan suggested,
the user can edit the value using the plain text editor and he'll be able to
enter any value.
